Back at the dawn of the civilized world Japan amazed the world with their technological achievements (take, for example, Nintendo and the Tamagotchi). Some Japanese products were able to circumvent and subjugate the world, radically changing the lives and outlook of people. The world is rapidly beginning to introduce Japanese technological achievements in life. But when it comes to the toilet, Westerners are horrified by the fact that the Japanese even a place as a toilet seat could fit lots of obscure buttons, displays, indicators and a huge number do not understand, switches and glowing lights.

This familiar to everyone attribute of every house has received a second life in Japan and has been called Washlet, or as Europeans call it - Supertoilet. In addition to completely innocuous features such as heated toilet seat, the automatic recovery, hermetization, air conditioning, lighting Supertoilet has also a set of very outstanding features, such as music, which in the opinion of the Japanese helps you to relax in such a crucial moment, and warmed to body temperature fountain which escapes from the toilet, well, you know where... Well, of course, inherent in the Japanese epidemiology, ionizers are not omitted which is also mounted in the toilet.

Japanese engineers never rest on laurels and continue to modify the miracle invention, providing it with a special system for the prevention and treatment of hemorrhoids and setting inside the toilet an express analyzer of urine, the results of which are transmitted through a wireless connection to your doctor.

If you're ever lucky enough to face with this amazing embodiment of human thought, then you will have to wonder twice, since no one Supertoilet display does not show any usual European language. Therefore, pressing all the buttons if you are lucky of cource, you will be surprized with amazing music works of Mendelssohn, but if not lucky, you get a stream of soap solution directly in the eyes ...:)
